Programmers fear： after 30 years too old， 40 years old should retire

In English used to say, "30 is the new 20", but this is not always true--in fact, when confronted with when in the software development industry, it appears to be exactly the opposite. While there are many outstanding personalities at the age of 30 just starting to reach the pinnacle of career, but for many common programmer, after 29 years of the future will look very miserable.

This issue recently caused a lengthy discussion on the Hacker News, many programmers have expressed a concern about things that will occur after the age of 30.

30 year old programmer "too old" problem, or simply suggestions: programmers should be able to retire at 40.

Favored by young programmers is that old programmers will get tired to relearn those emerging technologies. And then, more importantly, companies like recruiting young, inexperienced programmers to do as they work, but pay less.

This makes experienced programmers are selected for promotion to management positions, manage other programmers who, not actually involved in coding. An application developed by hand relative to this work much less creative.

"If you're going to have a ' write code ', then you'll be ready to use different programming modes, different programming languages ' put the same code ' write several times. "A commentator named ChuckMcM wrote.

"A few years ago, have to re-learn the work requires much of the technology, which has to do sometimes makes people worried," commented another man named bane.

In the software development community, this is not a new problem. Vivek Wadwha--at Stanford University and Duke University are spoken entrepreneur, said in an article written about as early as 2010, technology companies like to hire inexperienced young programmers. According to the Labor Department data, Greg Linden and Clair Brown Professor in 2009 published a book called "Chips and Change" says in the book, Silicon in electronics industry, at about 40 per cent of workers ' wages start slow.

This issue has gone beyond today's technology companies are hiring preference issues. Just as game designer Michael O. Church blog says: some programmers felt the suffocating reached 30 years of age.

"To be 30 years old, many of us are going to do something else: Administration, finance, or venture business," he wrote.

See clearly this trend will change in the future, but young programmers, their advice is to get ready for it.

Once the age – say, 35 years old-programmers suggest that the most important things to do is to prepare to retire at 40:

Estimated 5-10 years I will be eliminated, and can't keep up with the times, ... ... but I think that's OK, I don't have any further increase of power. I would say that, because I'm working hard to earn money, I can afford to back down from the full-time job.

程序员惊恐：30岁后太老，40岁应退休

英语中常说“30 is the new 20”，但这话并不总是对的——事实上，当遇到软件开发业里的人时，情况似乎完全相反。虽然有很多杰出人士在30岁刚开始达到仕途的巅峰，但对大多数普通程序员来说，29岁之后的未来看起来会是非常的悲惨。

这个问题最近在Hacker News上引起了长篇的讨论，很多程序员都表达出了对30岁后将会发生的事情的担忧。

对于30岁的程序员“太老”的问题，有人甚至干脆建议：程序员应该在40岁退休。

年轻程序员受偏爱的原因是，老程序员会慢慢的疲倦于重新学习那些层出不穷的新技术。再有，更重要的，公司们喜欢招聘年轻的、没有经验的程序员来干跟他们一样的活儿，但给的薪水更少。

这使得一些有经验的程序员选择晋升到管理职位，变成管理其他程序员的身份，不再实际参与编码。相对于徒手开发出一个应用来说，这种工作上的创造性就少多了。

“如果你打算一直‘写代码’，那你就要准备好用不同的编程模式、不同编程语言’把相同的代码’写好几遍。”一个叫ChuckMcM的评论者写道。

“没过几年就要重新学习工作上需要的大部分技术，这些不得不做的事情有时候会让人苦恼，”另一位叫做bane的人评论道。

在软件开发社区里，这并不是一个新出现的问题。Vivek Wadwha——一个在斯坦福大学和杜克大学都做过演讲的企业家，早在2010年就写过文章说，科技公司喜欢雇用没有经验的年轻程序员。根据劳工部的数据，Greg Linden和Clair Brown教授2009年出版的一本叫做“Chips and Change”的书中说，在硅电子产业，工人薪水的涨幅在40岁左右时开始变缓。

这个问题已经超越了如今的科技公司招聘员工的偏爱问题。就像游戏设计师Michael O. Church的一篇博客里说的：有些年龄达到30岁的程序员感到了窒息。

“到了30岁，我们很多人都打算做点别的事情：管理，金融，或创业开公司，”他写道。

看不清楚这个趋势将来会有什么变化，但对于年轻的程序员，他们的建议是：早做准备。

一旦变老——比如说35岁——程序员们建议说，最重要的要做的事情是为40岁退休做准备：

估计再过5-10年我就会被淘汰，跟不上时代，….但我觉得这没什么，我没有任何再进一步提高的动力。我可以这样，因为我正在玩命的挣钱，到时候我有资本从全职工作上退下来。
